here's your pics for you

how did you do the needles? paint?

 

^^ paint.

 

hey Donny Darbo, how did u do it, who is engifineer??, who installed it and how much?

 

he mailed the items to engifineer.. a person on the boards.. had the led swapped.. and got it back.

you can ask me or engifineer about it. just pm one of us.

 

Is that the Alpine CDA-9857 head unit? I just put that in my xB and love it to death...

 

LOL yeah its a nice headunit...i got my 60g video ipod hooked up to it...im trying to save up for a DVD screen so i can run some videos off my ipod as well

 

Oh yeah...and i got the paint from Michaels for 50 cents.. lol but im sure you can find at any kind of Hobby Lobby, but make sure its Acrylic paint. I also put some of my moms nail polish clear coat so it protects the paint. Heres the how to paint ur needles link buddy.

I found that VERY helpful.

 

wow man looks really good kinda looks familiar though.. lol


good job man! and nice color choices! lol

ohh yeah how did you do the temp dial thing? like how it fades? it looks hella nice.

 

how much did it cost? engineer, where r u located?

 

engifineer's in minneapolis, MN

.... i'm in san jose, CA..

 

Interesting that it says "R" on the empty spot of the fuel guage. "Really empty?" "Runnin' low?"

 

I think the R is Refuel or Refill

 

^^ "RESERVE"

 

Damn, that looks nice..

Much better then stock.

 

Now I see the light. :D

Looks killer, by the way.

 

nice ... imma have to engineer to hook my gauges up ...
